Grant Hill, the former South Lakes High School star and three-time All-America at Duke University, has been selected as a 2014 inductee to the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame.

Hill will join Shaquille O’Neal, who played three seasons at Louisiana State University prior to becoming a NBA star, as well as former Maryland coach Gary Williams, in the 2014 group.

Also selected:  NAIA star Zelmo Beaty from Prairie View A&M; LSU coach Dale Brown; longtime coach and author Glenn Wilkes Sr.; and Howard Garfinkel, the founder of the Five-Star Basketball Camp.

Hill, whose father, Calvin, played for the Washington Redskins, grew up in Reston. He attended area public schools, graduating from from South Lakes High School in 1990. He is a member of the SLHS Athletic Hall of Fame.

He went on to win two NCAA championships at Duke.

Hill played at Duke from 1990-94. As a senior, he averaged 17.4 points and 6.9 rebounds per game to earn consensus first team All-America and ACC Player of the Year honors. Hill was the first player in ACC history to accumulate more than 1,900 points, 700 rebounds, 400 assists, 200 steals and 100 blocks.

Hill played 18 season in the NBA. He was a NBA All Star seven times, but was plagued by injuries throughout his long career.

He retired from the NBA in June of 2013. At that time, there was much discussion about whether the former NBA Rookie of the Year was Naismith Memorial (Pro) Basketball Hall of Fame material.

Hill and the rest of the new college hall members will be inducted in Kansas City in November.

Hill is currently a basketball analyst for Turner Sports and a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Board of Governors.

In 2012, Hill was selected by the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame as a 2012 recipient of the Mannie Jackson Basketball Human Spirit Award.

Winners of that award, named for the founder of the Harlem Globetrotters, were selected for “embracing the core values of the game through hard work, dedication, and resilience; striving to continuously improve the community they serve; and making an ongoing commitment to others,” says the Hall of Fame website.

The calendar says we are in spring. The forecast says it is really still winter.

Temperatures will remain more than 20 degrees below normal through Wednesday, forecasters say.

And we might get one more snow event on Tuesday.

Snow showers are expected to begin late Monday into early Tuesday. Reston could see a small accumulation of about 1 to 3 inches, says the National Weather Service.

Meanwhile, Dulles International Airport set a new low for March 24 on Monday, when the temperature plunged to 19 degrees. The old record 21, set in 1984.  This is the second record low set at Dulles this month (other date March 4, when it was -1 ) and fourth record low this winter (other dates February 28 and January 7, when it was 14 and 6, respectively.), says the Capital Weather Gang.

Last year, Northern Virginia also received measurable snowfall on March 25. In 1990, four inches of snow was measured at Dulles in April.

Even if it snows on Tuesday, the snow won’t be around for long. Temperatures will be in the 50s by Wednesday and the 60s by the weekend.

Fairfax County Police are investigating a burglary that took place in the 1600 block of Washington Plaza on Tuesday.

An employee of a business at Lake Anne Plaza told police someone entered the business and took property.

Police did not say which business or what was taken.

A 26-year-old Reston woman was arrested Saturday night after allegedly showing up naked at the Arlington Magistrate’s Office.

Police say Maura Fussell arrived at the magistrate’s office around 11:00 p.m. seeking to visit her husband, who had been arrested in Clarendon earlier that day.

She was drunk, completely naked and refused to get dressed or leave in a cab, according to Arlington County Police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck.

Sternbeck was unable to say whether Fussell arrived at the office wearing clothes and subsequently removed them, or whether she arrived there naked.

Fussell was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and drunk in public. She was held in jail until sober, police said.

Reston Now posed a challenge to residents cooped up after Sunday and Monday’s snow: Capture your thoughts in haiku.

South Lakes High School and Langston Hughes Middle School were filled with people of all ages inventing, exploring and, well, making things at the Nova Mini Maker Faire on Sunday.

The Mini Maker Faire is part of a nationwide movement to encourage innovation and creativity.

The local event was sponsored by Nova Labs, a non-profit Maker Space in Reston. Nova Labs has a regular mission to provide the community a workshop where people can learn, teach, and collaborate on creative and technical works, and to promote the usefulness of competence in the technical arts, says Nova Labs president Brian Jacoby.

Sunday’s event had hands-on booths and activities from more than 100 makers exploring engineering, physics and other science areas, as well as creative crafting.

Who is ready to re-imagine Reston — built out of Peeps?

Chesapeake Chocolates at Lake Anne Plaza is holding its own Peeps Show, much like the popular annual contest run by The Washington Post.

Instead of Mad Men or Ben’s Chili Bowl or the Congressional chamber constructed out of the Easter confection, think about a Reston tableau in honor of Reston’s 50th anniversary and founder Robert Simon’s 100th birthday.

What would look good in Peeps? The Lake Anne fountain? Saturday night at Reston Town Center? Boats on Lake Audubon? A swim meet at Lake Newport Pool?

You won’t even have to run the plans by the Reston Association’s Design Review Board.

Chesapeake Chocolates says entrants should deliver their shoebox-size diorama to the store at 11426 Washington Plaza West. The store will keep it on display through Founder’s Day on April 5. A panel of judges will win a basket of Chesapeake Chocolates.

A man and his dog safely escaped from a burning townhouse in Reston Sunday afternoon.

Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department units responded to the fire at 1274 Vintage Place about 2:30 p.m.

Firefighters encountered smoke coming from three sides of the end unit, and fire in the basement of the two-story townhouse upon arrival, FCFD said.

The fire was brought under control in about 20 minutes. There was extensive damage in the basement, laundry room, and to the ceiling and flooring above.

Firefighters said an upstairs smoke alarm alerted the lone occupant, who escaped unharmed. Two residents have been displaced and the American Red Cross is providing support.

Damage is estimated at $150,000.

Fire investigators said the fire originated in the basement laundry room. The cause of the fire is undetermined as an ignition source was not found.

Officers from Fairfax County Police’s Reston District station said appliances were stolen from a unit in the 2000 block of Royal Fern Court on Thursday.

The police did not give other details, such as which appliances were missing or whether there are any suspects.
